Motor Carrier Drug And Alcohol Violations: Comparison Of Compliance Review Data From Safestat Selected Carriers And A Random Sample Of Carriers

There has been interest in the extent to which motor carriers are in compliance with Part 382 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (Controlled Substances and Alcohol Use Testing), as well as the extent to which the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's compliance review selection software, known as SafeStat (Safety Status), captures noncompliant carriers. To address this issue, a random sample of motor carriers was selected in 1997 for special "drug and alcohol" compliance reviews. These reviews were conducted during the latter half of 1997 and in 1998. The results from this random sample were then compared to data collected from motor carriers recently targeted for review by SafeStat. The methodology and findings are presented in this Analysis Brief.
